fermented soybeans
Aged bean paste
Fermented soybeans are soybeans that have been transformed by bacterial or fungal cultures, producing foods with distinctive flavors and textures.
The process creates staples across Asian cuisines: Japanese natto (sticky, pungent), Indonesian tempeh (firm, nutty), Chinese douchi (salty, savory).
Fermentation increases digestibility and nutritional availability.
The fermented soybeans gave the dish its umami depth.
